GOLDMAN ANNOUNCES RE-ELECTION BID

Vice Mayor Stanley Goldman announced last week he is no longer a candidate for mayor and will seek re-election next spring to his City Commission seat.

Goldman, who announced last spring that he would challenge Mayor David Keating in the March 1986 elections, said the mayorial race has become too crowded with other candidates for him to challenge Keating effectively.

"If it had been a one-on-one race, the community could have decided if they wanted the old-fashioned or the new fashion," Goldman said. "The race, as it is now, is too confused. To successfully challenge Keating, you need people to rally around one candidate."

Keating, mayor since 1972, is being challenged by banker Andre Molinari and civic activist Mara Giulianti. Former Broward County Sheriff Bob Butterworth is considering entering the race, but hasn't made a decision.
